When it comes to treating loose, sagging skin under the chin. often referred to as a “turkey neck”, many patients think their only option is a full neck lift. But there’s a powerful surgical technique that offers beautiful, natural-looking results with less downtime: Z-plasty.
Originally designed to revise scars and release skin contractures, Z-plasty involves creating a precise Z-shaped incision to shift skin tension, reorient scars, and strategically reposition tissue for a smoother, tighter result.
In our practice, we’ve used Z-plasty not just for scar revision, but also to:
🔹 Lift and recontour the neck by tightening loose, hanging skin
🔹 Minimize the appearance of scars by redirecting their placement and blending them more naturally into skin folds
🔹 Improve skin laxity without the need for a full neck lift
🔹 Restore definition to the jawline and neck profile
🔹 Boost patient confidence with results that look subtle yet transformative
It’s all about tailored treatments that address your unique anatomy and concerns, and this technique has been a hidden gem in achieving that sculpted, youthful look.
